After USD Retail Sales dropped 0.1% in October, the USD looks
poised to gain ground against the Euro as analysts expect month over month Retail
Sales will improve 0.1%. This assumption is supported by an observed short term
negative correlation relationship between the EURUSD pair and Retail Sales. However, if the projection fails to meet at
least expectations, the EURO is likely to find support to the upside, heading
into the US holiday shopping season.

Following the weaker than
expected USD Jobless Claims and Trade balance last week, the EURO managed a
slight recovery against the DOLLAR from the previous week.Analyzing just the relationship between the EURUSD
pair and Jobless claims, the general observation supports a better than
expected unemployment claim number acts an stronger DOLLAR catalyst. Finishing
this trading week, the EURUSD is likely to remain volatile as traders brace for
the remaining fairly heavy economic impact calendar. US Jobless claims are
expected to improve which is likely to put further pressure on the EURO but
this remains contingent on the other economic indicators and their results.

The LoonieDollar continues to follow crude oil lower after decoupling from its relationship in September. CADUSD is moving towards its ~0.9530 level but could test ~0.9450 before a possible reversal higher. CADUSD short term risk exposure remains to the downside even though we believe Crude Oil is reaching oversold conditions and might attempt a directional change. Examining the correlation relationship, a move higher in Crude Oil should support a CADUSD move higher. However, Crude is likely to outpace the Loonie in the event of a reversal to the upside.

Technical Outlook: Initial focus is Short LoonieDollar Long Crude Oil.

EURUSD eyeing its two year average after failing to breach the 1.3800 level last month. The EURUSD remains under pressure after a better than expected November, 2013 USD Non-Farm Employment report and surprised ECB Rate Cut last week. Our Currency analyst believe that the EURO is subject to Technical volatility against the Dollar at least in the short term.

Technical Outlook: Neutral with the potential for the EURO to continue moving lower but a Dollar correction is not off the table.
